bedtime

I do love bedtime with the boys. Usually. Wash up, jammies on. This can take five minutes on a good day, twenty minutes other days. The boys like to "goof off" as they say. Silly stories made up on the fly, tickling is king. Then we settle down with a good book. Chapter books are good but we've been on Shel Silverstein for a while now. Always go back to him, mostly the three classics A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk Ends and Falling Up. Can't go wrong with those. A little back scratch, a little chat about the day and lights out. I hope it's a good way for my children to end the day.
